One dollar is asked as a donation. The monies gathered has bought a new sound system with several mikes that a large group can pass around in an even larger circle. The beauty of this jam is the total enjoyment that the residents there come to hear each Monday.
Most any ability is encouraged and welcomed, however there are a few very good pickers there. Sharing is encouraged. Gospel, Grass, Oldies, and the like will be played, so wait a couple of minutes and you'll get most any kind of entertainment. Fantastic place to learn and grow. |
